Elysium, which had always been quiet, suddenly became lively today.

The mercenaries carried all kinds of supplies to Elysium, last night's explosion and fire almost burned the mercenary ship into an empty shell, navigation, communication, power system were destroyed, even the two fish devices on the ship were destroyed, and now it is a piece of scrap metal floating on the water, which has lost its ability to move, so at the suggestion of Thorin, everyone evacuated the mercenary ship, and began to use the dinghy to move all kinds of materials after dawn.

Thorin chose the base in the previous cannibal camp, and the piles of supplies were piled up like a hill, not only a large number of canned biscuits, but also a large amount of red wine, and weapons and bullets enough to equip two platoons.

In addition to these, Thorin even brought up the only remaining torpedo.

After a few days of attrition, there are still twenty-one mercenaries in total, you must know that there were dozens of them before, and now they have lost at least two-thirds.

Such huge casualties are unprecedented.

The mercenary gate, who had been tired all night, built a stove in the tribe, cooked a large pot of beef, and drank wine while eating beef.

The camp was exceptionally quiet, no one wanted to speak, everyone's mood was terrible, they paid sweat to get the treasure, they thought they had made a fortune, but they didn't expect the general to deceive everyone, and one person swept away the treasure, not to mention killing them.

Nick also slipped away, and now he doesn't even have someone to find to vent his anger.

After so many years, when have they ever suffered such a loss, thinking about it is a belly of anger.

"Smack!"

A black mercenary named Thomas slammed a bottle of wine to the ground.

"Are we going to wait here for death now? No, I don't say yes! I'm going to get my money back, damn it! Thomas stood up and roared loudly.

He is the captain of the escort team, and he is highly regarded by the general, and he is definitely the only existence among all black people, but he didn't expect that even he was sold this time, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help it.

"That's right, we can't wait here."

Three more blacks stood up.

"So you're going to swim back to Kodor Island to seek revenge on the General? The general will be waiting for you and will stretch his boots out in front of you for you to lick. Thorin couldn't help but sarcastically remark.

"What did you say?" Thomas immediately walked over and grabbed Thorin by the collar and pulled Thorin up. "Are you laughing at me?"

"Am I laughing? We don't have a boat right now, what can you do but swim back? ”

"Isn't it possible to wait here to die?"

Thorin snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, the pirates will definitely come, that is a group of rats without guts, kill them and rob their ships and we can go back." ”

"Kill? Is it worth it to fight with pirates? It doesn't make any sense, I just want to get my damn money back, you understand? I'm the captain of the guard, and now everyone has to listen to me, everyone come with me, go gather all the materials, build a ship, and get out of this damn place. ”

"It's too late, the pirates will come soon, being caught up is a dead end, only desperately fighting with them is our only hope, they have ships, they have satellite phones, and I guess the general will be waiting for us on the periphery, he won't let any of us go back alive, we can only hope to survive by robbing the pirate's ship, even if we can't beat the pirates, these islands can also shelter us well." Thorin said.

Thomas laughed, suddenly pulled out a dagger and stuck it to Thorrin's neck, and said viciously: "I said, I'm the captain of the guard, can't you hear?" ”

Almost at the same time, the three negroes on the side all raised their guns and pointed them at Thorin.

Thomas glanced back at everyone and said: "I am the captain of the guard, whoever does not listen to me, I will kill whomever I want, now there are only two ways in front of us, either build a ship and escape, or surrender, since the general has abandoned us, we will defect to the pirates, it will not hurt us to surrender them, and then the pirates will have no reason to refuse us, we know the general's lair, and we can lead the pirates to destroy them and recover the money that belongs to us." ”

"Surrender?" The corners of Thorin's mouth curled into a strange smile.

"What's wrong with surrendering, how many of you are not deserters? What sense of honor do you have? Aren't you fighting for money? Thomas sneered, his expression very disdainful.

"What did you say?" Thorin suddenly pulled out his gun and put it at Thomas's forehead.

"Do you dare to shoot? There will be no one to help you here, either run or surrender, to resist is to look for death, and such a fight does not mean anything to us...... "Dede."

"Bang!"

Before Thomas could finish his words, his head was pierced, his eyes widened, and he fell straight down.

The other three blacks were about to shoot at once.

"Bang ......"

Three gunshots rang out in succession, and the three of them fell down in unison, each of them shot in the back of the head.

Mike had a cigar in his mouth, a certain cowboy hat on his head, and a revolver in the water still smoking.

He spit out a smoke ring and glanced at everyone coldly, and asked in a deep voice: "Although I don't have a sense of honor, the last thing I like as a person is surrender, which of you still has an opinion?" ”

Behind Mike, several of his brothers also raised their guns, not only submachine guns but also two machine guns.

Some blacks wanted to move, but they were all stunned when they saw the stance.

The scene was silent, and no one spoke.

"Oh, it seems that everyone is okay, and I will invite you to Texas for a drink when I have a chance." Mike put away his revolver and gestured to Thorin for him to continue.

Thorin put away his gun and glanced at everyone and said loudly: "I know that many people used to be soldiers, for some reason they became mercenaries, no matter what the purpose, whether it is money or freedom, we do not have much sense of honor, but let us surrender to those unruly pirates It is an insult to us, I don't want to be old one day, my grandson pointed to the TV and said, grandpa, this is where you knelt down and surrendered, I will tell him, no, that's not your grandfather, that's a dead man, He is a weak man who does not have the courage to fight. ”

Everyone laughed, but immediately they couldn't laugh again.

In the past, they swept everything by relying on the powerful weapons provided by the generals, helicopters, missiles, speedboats, gunboats, and invincible. In addition, with first-hand information, they almost succeed repeatedly. What is being fought is a modern war.

But now there is a road in front of them, having lost everything they once relied on, without air fire support, there can be no reinforcements, but they have to face a large number of pirates with strong firepower, and there is no second way to go except desperately.

Thorin put away his smile and continued: "No matter how humble a knight is, he will long to one day be able to ride a war horse, armed with a spear, and fight for his homeland and women, and if the sky is dark, then close his eyes and live; If it is dangerous to make a sound, then keep silent; If you don't dare to get up, then curl up in the corner. But don't get used to the darkness and justify it; Don't be complacent about your incompetence; Don't mock those who are braver and more passionate than yourself. We can be humble as dust, but we must not be twisted like maggots, if we don't even have the courage to kill, don't live, it's better to die, for money, for women, today we must fight to the end, if I die, don't bury me, let my soul continue to stay here, especially those who run away, don't touch me, that's blasphemy against me, do you still have anyone to leave? ”

Everyone looked at Thorin in unison, and no one expected that this person, who usually seemed to be out of tune, would actually say such an impassioned paragraph.

Mercenaries don't have a sense of honor, but that doesn't mean they don't have dignity.

Their dignity is that they would rather die in battle than surrender to pirates.

The mercenaries all stood up straight, one by one raised their heads, their eyes became haughty, and everyone's beliefs were unified, they wanted to fight, they wanted to rob the pirate ship and escape.

"Do anyone else have any opinions?" Mike asked.

Just like last time, everyone chose to be silent, even if there was an opinion about who would dare to confront Mike.

"It's okay, you can arrange your tactics, this place is not suitable for fighting, we will make another plan." Mike said.

He exchanged glances with Thorin and nodded to each other, this scene was something they had already discussed, and Thomas was the unlucky guy they used to stand up.

"Of course we can't be here, we have to retreat deeper, it's unrealistic to clash with them head-on, the pirates will definitely search the mountains, we will hide first, wait until they are exhausted and then find a chance to lurk on the ship, occupy the pirate ship in one fell swoop, we need to create a target for them, those tourists are good targets, we can do it first, and then run away, so that the pirates will attack the opposite island, and when they get to the island, we will ambush them......"

Thorin recounted his full plan, and everyone was satisfied, so that he could destroy the pirates and borrow the pirates' hands to eliminate these annoying tourists, killing two birds with one stone.

When the pirates are killed and wounded in large numbers, their opportunity will come.

Thorin spoke, and when his eyes scanned the surroundings, he saw that the island was gone.

This person has disappeared since the retreat last night, and there are quite a few mercenaries who disappeared with him, and I don't know if they retreated to the other side.
